Reminder: Sara Schaefer is Obsessed With You THIS FRIDAY

Remember ladies, this Friday marks my first show as a writer for the hit live talk show, Sara Schaefer is Obsessed With You. You might even see me onstage.

It's a terrific show, I promise. Sara was on the "Hot List," and when has the NY Post ever steered us wrong? Okay, fairly frequently. But still, The Onion loves her, and those guys know a thing or two about comedy. Plus she's a starred pick in Time Out NY.

See it at Juvie Hall Sketch Comedy Theater, this Friday, May 6th at 8 PM. The address? 24 Bond Street, btw Bowery & Lafayette. Tickets are $8, through SmartTix 212-868-4444, or at the door.

The actor and comedian, Judah Friedlander, will be the guest. Come see him, as well as our special musical guest, and the de rigeur Law and Order guest. Plus, all-new Sara Schaefer is Obsessed With You bags and shirts will be available for purchase. Let your allegience to our little comedy show be known through fashion, and be the hippest one on your block. Buy one now before Sara becomes big and famous and too mainstream for her shirt to be "cool."

Sara Schaefer is Obsessed With ME

I've just been hired as a writer for Sara Schaefer's bimonthly comedy talk show, Sara Schaefer is Obsessed With You.

For those unfamiliar with the SSIOWY, it's a live stage show in the form of a late-night TV talk program. It's been featured on The NY Post's "Hot List;" has been glowingly reviewed by The Onion and the NY Press; and is a starred pick, every week, in Time Out NY. Plus, Sara recieved an Emerging Comics of New York award for "Best Host of a Variety Show" in 2004. And she's funny and adorable. You can read an interview with her here.

She's interviewed such guests as: The Daily Show's Samantha Bee; comedian Todd Barry; Air America's Marc Maron; Andy Borwitz of The Borowitz Report, and creator of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air; Jonathan Ames, the Author of Wake Up Sir!, My Less Than Secret Life, and What's Not to Love; Ben Curtis, the "Dell Dude;" Dana Snyder, the voice of Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force; and more. Plus, every show has a musical guest and a special "Law and Order Guest."

The show runs every other Friday at Juvie Hall Sketch Comedy Theater, at 8 PM (however, the show will run once a month during the Summer, returning to its normal schedule in the fall). The theater is at 24 Bond Street, btw Bowery & Lafayette. Tickets are $8, through SmartTix 212-868-4444, or at the door.

The next show is on May 6, and it will mark my first show as a writer. Judah Friedlander will be the guest (Vh1's Best Week Ever, American Splendor, Project Greenlight, and more). Other upcoming shows: May 20 (novelist Nick Sagan), June 17 (novelist Chris Genoa), July 15 (Ed Helms, The Daily Show correspondent). Come check 'em out.




Also, the Jest launch party was fun, other than the inexplicable closing of the open bar at 10:00, rather than the advertised 10:30 (Boooo! To hell with you, Delancey NYC! Don't come between a comedy writer and his booze!). I met some interesting folks, including the editor of Mad Magazine, who used to work at George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch (weird career change, there). Also, in case people are interested, apparently Jest is only going to be a pay magazine outside of New York City. Inside the city, we will remain a giveaway, at least for a little longer. So, if you've managed to find it in the past, despite our best efforts at keeping our distribution spotty and unpredictable, you should be able to keep picking it up for free in the future.

Excelsior!
